Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 21, Number 8, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 20 October 1899 — Collection for Bishop Rademacher. [ARTICLE]

Collection for Bishop Rademacher.

The Rt. Rev. Joseph Rademacher, is sadly broken down both mentally and physically and his retirement is expected soon. Dean Oechtering, of Mishawaka, a member of the disocesan board and an elector, announced yesterday that the board will make a selection at an early datq. Bishop Rademacher contributed his entire income to churches and orphan asylums, leaving himself without funds for medical and hospital services. The priests of the diocese furnished the money for his care in Chicago, but the supply is exhausted and a special collection was called yesterday in every diocesan church for that purpose.—Valpo, Messenger.
